Bitcoin Lightning Payment Zaps Across Satellite In Historic First

In a feat of digital wizardry, the user “Printer” (@Printer_Gobrrr) launched a Lightning invoice as an image to the QO-100 (Es’hail-2) amateur radio transponder. What followed can only be described as “one small step for Bitcoin, one giant leap for tech nerds everywhere.” The image was sent, zapped across the cosmos, and then paid-YES, paid. This historic moment unfolded on September 9, 2025, marking what may very well be the first public demonstration of a Lightning invoice traveling through actual space. Achievement unlocked, my friend: we are now paying invoices through space.
